Great trip, hard on the cars but BMW M's are built for driving and not collecting dust parked up, now in need of a new windscreen, that be number 3.

Thanks to Marcus for organising the great route and itinerary, Hetan, Mark and Jana for the laughs and company.

Looks like you spent more time taking pictures than driving!

I just got back from a not too dissimilar tour, the roads are totally fked up there at the moment, gravel and potholes everywhere, really spoilt some otherwise great roads.

Don't worry about that, we got plenty of driving in and I have a lot of gopro vid to go through now, but we also make time to check out the sights along the way.

Fantastic scenery.

Shame the photo's of the cars spoilt the rest of them.

Cars are like custard, otherwise it could be anyone's pictures copied straight off google images
